Just as vital to the Southern Saints’ midfield supremacy was Drennan, whose unparalleled athleticism and explosiveness from contest was a major highlight in 2018.

The ex-College basketballer became one of the best contested-ball winners in the league, stamping her name on the competition with a best-on-ground 35 disposals in the Saints’ 30-point win over the Seagulls in Round 2.

While Watt and Drennan capped off their stellar first year in the VFLW system, a host of other Southern Saints were named in the AFL Victoria Female Young Guns representative sides.

Kayla Ripari, Amy Silver, Tara Bohanna, Selena Karlson, Alison Brown, Courteney Munn and Georgia Ricardo earned a spot in the representative match, in which the Southern Saints will be by far the most represented team, with a total of seven Saints making the cut.

The game will be played this Saturday 15 September at 11:45am at North Port Oval.
